Bad terrain, some standard units (can't check the map, but that's what I derived from the screenies).

Haven't played the map until now, but one suggestion at the beginning. I would add a preview picture, this looks ugly.

With the current map quality control and from the view of the video, I do not think your map would likely to be acceptable.

Will add the minimap at the next release, just have no time doing so

I'm planning to put han Han's battalion system to make the controls preety easy, trying to make the map more look like the Total War series..

thanks for the comments anyway..

In your video you ask if we have the courage to command our armies. Well, obviously we have courage. Courage doesn't have any relation to video games, unless the game is scary (as their actually IS a number of people who would be too scared to continue playing certain horror video games). Just saying.

Also (like has been said before), you need a QUALITY mini map picture.

But perhaps the most important thing, would be INTERESTING & UNIQUE custom models. Seeing games with the same archers and knights and paladins kills me. Their are plenty of cool, rarer-ly (not a word i know) used custom models/skins on this site. I urge you to use them.

Second most important thing would probably be the terrain. I realise you may have alot of units on the map and need space, but maybe add a swamp or frozen swamp or lake or rolling hills or a mountain. Just add something here. this too is crucial.

To sum up my review: your visuals are bad enough that nothing else in this map looks remotely interesting, because i cant get my mind off of the generic warcraft look. But this can be fixed with a little hard work, and im sure you can pull it off.

happy mapping


EDIT: Some new models and some highly rated models/skins

Give it a terrain! This looks like it will be awesome when it's done.

 

[light bolt30]

Please improve terrain;is very plan and very simple. Suggest you to make a terrain that suits the map.

 

[LieroBoy]

There, a new minimap, and a new terrain!

and awesome changes are made!! Have fun!!

 

[Anti_Bodies]

Would be nice to see a screenshot of the new terrain.

You can still just mouse over the preview pic.

Edit: Is it possible to add AI to this game?

That tells me nothing other then that there is water and grass. There is something called quality, which the degree of is unknown in this map because we just see a random minimap image. Also, not trying to be too much of a critic, but the custom minimap you have features snowy terrain, which I do not think is in your map. Their is also no text on the map, its just a random image, which can be okay, sometimes.

Quality man quality.

Actually you can change the terrain of the map, snow, desert, beach, hell or moon

Yup, but i have no time making an AI since i'm still improving the map and adding more features to it, maybe someday..

For now play it online or with friends, its really fun
